American workers who are planning for their retirements don’t have much to be cheerful about these days. With heavy losses in the stock market, steep declines in real estate values in the US, tightening credit, and uncertainty in the employment outlook, many soon-to-be retirees are thinking hard about their retirement investments and whether their retirement goals are realistic.

No financial adviser ever recommends retiring during a recession, but sometimes circumstances don’t allow you to choose. A sudden job loss, health crisis, or heavy losses in retirement investments will make you think twice about leaving your job. The good news is that you can find investments that are performing well, even in this uncertain economy.

One such performer is Puerto Vallarta real estate. The value of Puerto Vallarta real estate has been climbing steadily for the past ten years. The property value growth here is measured in double-digits, and that’s caught the attention of investors all over the world. Europeans, Asians and North Americans are particularly interested in Puerto Vallarta properties as retirement investments not only for the phenomenal returns it is producing but also because Puerto Vallarta is a great place to retire.

The cost of living is low here, much lower than in Europe, North America and parts of Asia. Puerto Vallarta is very close to the US, which makes it a natural choice for North American retirees. The climate here is very similar to that of Hawaii, and doesn’t get dangerously hot like some cities in the desert Southwest.

Puerto Vallarta also offers a very high quality of life here, with access to the best medical and dental care in the area. Many health professionals are from the US or were trained in the US and choose to practice in Puerto Vallarta. The availability of private clinics and modern hospitals makes Puerto Vallarta a top choice for receiving treatments that are unavailable, not covered by insurance or otherwise too expensive in the US.

There are few places in the world like Puerto Vallarta. As a retirement investment, Puerto Vallarta real estate is hard to beat. If you’re interested in learning more about Puerto Vallarta real estate, its costs and the benefits of building a home here, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today!

A study conducted by the Ohio State University shows that workers are disproportionately subjected to age-related job discrimination as they approach 50 years of age and again as they approach 60. The study concluded that the ranks of middle management are filled with workers in this age range who are looked at as being more expensive, especially during lean economic times. Many of these workers are forced into an early retirement or late-life career change.

Additionally, discrimination among workers who are approaching 60 years of age is centered around employer concerns about rising pension and health-care costs for retirees. For employees who lose their jobs while in this age range, finding new employment can be difficult. Job loss or early retirement at this stage can have devastating consequences for workers who may have anticipated a period of stable earnings and the ability to set aside significant savings prior to retirement.

For employees who are looking to stabilize their retirement plans, investment in Puerto Vallarta property may provide excellent returns, as well as low cost of living, high quality of life and even a stable source of non-work income. A luxury second home in Puerto Vallarta could be used to generate income from others who want to lease the property for vacations or as a part-time residence. The income could be used to pay off the property. When the owner is ready to retire, he or she could make the Puerto Vallarta property a permanent residence or sell the property and invest the proceeds for a comfortable retirement elsewhere.

This is an excellent strategy for younger workers who are not in imminent danger of losing their jobs but who may have put off starting a retirement account, or who wish to plan for an early retirement.

In this economy, many workers have delayed retirement or changed their plans regarding early retirement. With the safe investment in a Puerto Vallarta second home, early retirement can once again be something to look forward to! Regardless of your age or your existing retirement savings, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today to talk about what the construction of a Puerto Vallarta luxury home can do for your investment portfolio.

A new survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation shows that rising fuel costs are the number one concern of American consumers. I’m happy to report that one of the benefits of a Mexico luxury home is steady fuel prices in Mexico. Mexico is a major exporter of oil, so fuel prices are naturally lower. They’re also controlled by a government monopoly, so you’ll find much more tolerable gas prices here in Puerto Vallarta, and all over Mexico.

Fuel is just one of the side benefits of owning a Mexico luxury home in Puerto Vallarta. Although there are many hundreds of condos and villas being built or offered for sale, there are only a few miles of the Puerto Vallarta coastline that are eligible for foreign ownership.

Investment firm Lipper recently released data that shows that investors who bought exchange traded funds based on the Mexican economy enjoyed a ten-year return of 17%. In comparison, the best performing US-based ETF returned just over 9%. Many people have found that investing in Mexico is a smart move. Traditional vehicles, such as direct investment in real estate can return substantially more. Many ex-pats from the US have found that their investment in Mexico luxury homes has doubled or even tripled in the time they’ve owned the property.

These returns are phenomenal, and are reminiscent of better times in the US. If you’re feeling the pinch of non-performing investments, declining real estate values, and rising prices, you might want to look south of the border for a little relief. Right now, you can find great investment in Mexico luxury homes.

In certain areas of Mexico, the Federal government is encouraging foreign investment in real estate. Puerto Vallarta is one of those areas. The government is pouring billions of pesos into highways, bridges and tunnels, hospitals, water treatment plants, and municipal facilities, all of which will increase the value of the Mexico luxury homes in Puerto Vallarta.

The land values here are growing, and have tripled in the past ten years, but they’re still extremely affordable, even for folks of “ordinary” means. In five or ten years, that won’t be the case, and if you haven’t invested in a Mexico luxury home by that time, you’ll likely be closed out of the opportunity forever.

This is one opportunity that you don’t want to let slip. Now is the time to buy land and build a Mexico luxury home in Puerto Vallarta. Property values are expected to double in the next five years, and the population here is expected to increase by 75 percent. Most of the increase will come from foreign investors – many of whom are retirees – who want to take advantage of the low cost of living and the growth in property values.

If a good return on your investment is important to you, and you’re looking for a market with high growth potential over a short- to mid-term, you need to consider building a Mexico luxury home in Puerto Vallarta today. Select Mexico Properties’ prime residential building sites won’t last long in this investment climate. You need to act fast if you want to take advantage of this opportunity.
